Netizens React:
One user commented, "Honesty among people seems to have completely vanished. The goods that should have been collected with honesty to help the victims were looted, selling their integrity, and they filled their homes with the stolen goods."
One user commented, "Helping others has become outdated in this life, and making videos is the new trend. Accidents are now entertainment, and an injured person is just a scene. Mangoes were sweet, but the taste of society has turned bitter. The conscience that once used to scream is now silent...because in the crowd, there are no longer humans, only spectators remain."
